EVALUATION CRITERIA

4. Proposal Information and Related Evaluation Factors.

4.1 Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the factors and sub factors below, listed in relative order of importance. All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined are considered approximately equal to price. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

5.1 Submission Requirements:

5.1.1 Prime Contractor:

Provide descriptions of up to three (3) projects substantially complete or completed by the Prime Contractor within the last ten (10) years (from the solicitation issue date) that are similar to this project in size and scope. Projects completed more than ten (10) before the solicitation issue date may be considered for evaluation purposes but may lessen the overall relevancy rating for that project. Projects are considered substantially complete if enough work has been performed such that it demonstrates the ability to successfully complete all phases of the project. An Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract may be submitted only if a single task order could be considered similar to this project in size and scope.

Task orders may not be combined in order for the project to be considered similar in size or scope.

NOTE: Renovation work is not considered similar in size or scope to this project.

5.1.2 Projects considered similar in size would be a minimum of 10,000 Square Feet (SF).

5.1.3 Projects considered similar in scope to this project should include new construction of warehouses, storage facilities, vehicle maintenance shops, maintenance facilities, Army Reserve Centers, Military Headquarters buildings, educational facilities, and/or office buildings.

5.1.4 The prime contractor must have self-performed at least 15 percent of the direct contract labor (including testing and layout personnel), exclusive of other general conditions or field overhead personnel, material, equipment, or subcontractors to be considered similar.

5.1.5 Additional consideration may be given for projects that contain the following features:

a) Established, working relationship with the proposed DOR on prior Design/Build projects

b) Experience with Federal (e.g., DOD, USACE) Design/Build Criteria (i.e., AT/FP, UFC, Specs

Intact, Unified Facilities Guide Specifications)

c) Projects that demonstrate LEED Silver or higher ratings

a) Project Title, Location, and Contract Number/Unique Identifier

b) Current percentage of construction complete and the date it was or will be complete

a. For projects that are not yet complete, provide description of work remaining to be completed.

c) Scope of the project, to include purpose/use of facility

d) Size of the project, differentiate square footage of new construction versus repair if the project includes both

e) Type and percentage of work that was self-performed

5.1.7 For this factor, also include any ratings, letters, awards, etc. that support past performance on these projects. Any of this information that is submitted shall clearly identify to which of the submitted projects it pertains. A sample Past Performance Questionnaire is attached for your convenience. If used, the Past Performance Questionnaire must be submitted by the offeror with the proposal submission and not sent directly to the agency by the reference. For each project, the offeror may provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror’s respective corrective action.

5.1.8 A/E Designer of Record (DOR):

Provide descriptions of up to three (3) projects that have been constructed (i.e., construction is substantially complete, see paragraph 5.1.1 above) within the last ten (10) years (from the solicitation issue date) which are similar in size and scope (see paragraph 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 above). In order to be considered similar, the proposed A/E firm must have been the DOR on the submitted project. The listed design firm must be used on the project. No deviations will be permitted unless approved by the Contracting Officer. Identification of more than one (1) design firm will result in an evaluation based on the least qualified firm as determined using the rating and evaluation criteria listed in section 5 and applied as shown in Tables I and II in subsection 4.5. Indicate any previous working relationship with the prime contractor.

5.1.9 Additional consideration may be given for the DOR projects that contain the following features:

a) Established, working relationship with the proposed Prime on prior Design/Build projects

b) Experience with Federal (e.g., DOD, USACE) Design/Build Criteria (i.e., AT/FP, UFC, Specs

Intact, Unified Facilities Guide Specifications)

c) Projects that demonstrate LEED Silver or higher ratings

NOTE: For purposes of evaluating past performance, the Prime Contractor is defined as the contractor identified in Block 14 of the Standard Form 1442. Projects performed by contractors other than the offeror, including, but not limited to, teaming partners, subcontractors, sister or parent companies, and affiliates will not be evaluated for past performance, unless those other contractors are part of a joint venture offeror as demonstrated by a signed joint venture (JV) agreement. If more than one contractor is listed in Block 14, then a signed JV agreement must be submitted with the proposal and the JV shall be registered as such in the System for Award Management (SAM). However, each party of the JV must submit their own Unique Entity Identifier Number (formerly known as DUNS) with the JV proposal If the offeror represents the combining of two or more companies as a JV for the purpose of this RFP, each company in the JV may submit project examples, but the total submitted by the JV will not exceed three (3).

5.2 Evaluation Criteria:

5.2.1 For both the Prime and DOR, the SSEB will first evaluate the relevancy of recent past performance identified in the proposal in response to paragraph 5.1 above. By using the criteria identified above, the SSEB will determine how relevant a past project is when compared to the scope, size, and magnitude of effort and complexities of the solicited project. A relevancy rating will be assigned to each submitted project using the Past Performance Relevancy Ratings table above.

5.2.2 For both the Prime and DOR, the SSEB will next review how well the offeror performed on those projects.

The Government reserves the right to check any or all cited references to verify supplied information and to assess owner satisfaction. The Government also reserves the right to not contact the provided references.

In addition to the information submitted by the offeror, the Government reserves the right to review any other sources of relevant information for evaluating past performance, including projects other than those submitted by the offeror. The Government may review past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/Unique Entity Identifier numbers. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved from inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror.

5.2.3 The SSEB will review all past performance information collected for both the Prime and DOR. The SSEB will determine the quality of the offeror’s performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate this information into the performance confidence assessment. The SSEB will assign a final, overall Performance Confidence rating, using the ratings in the Performance Confidence Assessment table above, based on the SSEB’s assessment of (1) the degree of the offeror’s recent, relevant experience, and (2) how well the offeror performed that experience. NOTE: The Past Performance of both the Prime and A/E DOR will be weighted approximately equally in the establishment of the overall Performance Confidence rating.

6.0 Volume I – Factor II: Technical Approach

6.1 Submission Requirements:

6.1.1 Provide a narrative that describes the offeror’s philosophy and intended management plan for executing this design-build project. Clearly and concisely describe the offeror’s Design-Build team, and how key members of the team, including but not limited to the Construction PM, Construction Superintendent, Construction Quality Control, SSHO, Design PM, and Design Quality Control, will work collaboratively to ensure timely, quality completion of the project. Additionally, the Management Plan shall include the following information:

Identify the significant areas of risk and provide the offeror’s plan for mitigating risk during contract performance.

Describe the roles and responsibilities of the offeror’s Design-Build team and how their resources will be utilized in order to deliver this design-build project.

Describe the proposed communication plan both within the Design-Build team and the Corps of

Engineers throughout the entirety of the project life cycle. This description shall include design during construction, requests for information, shop drawing and submittal reviews, progress meetings, site visits, differing site conditions, and contract completion.

Identify the offeror’s schedule control capabilities and any systems the offeror will use to plan design and construction activities. Detail how the offeror will manage internal delays, schedule creep, fast-tracking design and construction, and any other relevant challenges to completing the project on time.

Project Phasing Plan (Design, construction, long lead time items)

NOTE: There is a page limit of ten (10) single-sided, 8.5” x 11” pages, using a minimum font size of 11 and a minimum margin of one-half inch on all sides, for the Management Plan Factor.

6.2 Evaluation Criteria:

6.2.1 The Government will evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, and any deficiencies in the management plan.

Management Plan narratives will be evaluated based on the level of understanding of the work and the involvement the contractor will have in the management, oversight, control, and coordination of the work performed during construction of the project. Narratives that demonstrate a clear understanding of the project requirements and provide a thorough approach for successfully managing the solicited project may be rated more favorably by the SSEB.
